Pool of Black

   A kiss before dying, the desperate lurch before oblivion, and the erotic click-clack of stilettos on pavement. Dank stairwells and silent corridors. Closed doors and hidden secrets. You break in and fall into a bottomless pool of black. Cut to a bare light-bulb burning on a current wired from hell. Lying on a steel-framed bed you stare through the bars of perdition at yourself, a wraith in a cracked mirror on the ceiling.

You Sneak Up

        No matter how cleverly you sneak up on a mirror your reflection always looks you straight in the eye.
